Winning 1 match has never been the problem. Paniro is talented and can beat a lot of great wrestlers. It's the ncaa tournament when guys are locked in, that's where he struggles. Guys beat him at his own game when the lights are on.
The lights weren't on when he won the Big 12's the last two years? My point is: we can't necessarily say he won't succeed next time.

I've been loud that everything matters and that includes dual meets. That includes all the tournaments during the season. That includes big 12s. But you are graded on your performance at nationals when you are a high performer.

It is tough to get the best recruits when going against PSU & now Ok State in addition to NIL. Have to get creative, which is where we have 3 Cubans on the roster
Buf we might need to do more of that on bring in more from Cuba and we should start going after some more freestyle kids from Japan, Russia ext. See if we can get lucky on some.

ISU wrestling is tough spot and has been for a while. It needs a larger influx of cash(which wont happen) or taking huge risk on internal wrestlers and wrestlers that have some baggage.

I don’t necessarily agree with this.

PSU and soon to be OSU are just on a different level. Iowa consistently top 5 too.

Outside of those 3 I don’t think there is a team we need to take on wrestlers with baggage to compete with.
